Hi
Installed Z-Wave JS with Z-Stick Gen5+ (ZW090-C) but I cant connect or pair any devices.
I have a Z-Wave network already with Tellstick that I want to migrate to Z-Wave JS. I’ve tried with devices that has not been connected to the old Z-wave network and I’ve tried to exclude devices from the old and connect to Z-wave JS.
I should also notice that the USB-stick is blinking blue, yellow and red. I’ve read somewhere that this was normal but the sequence is not mentioned in the manual for the Z-wave.

I’m using an extended USB cable, so the USB-stick is outside my rack cabinet.
I should also notice that the USB-stick is blinking blue, yellow and red. I’ve read somewhere that this was normal but the sequence is not mentioned in the manual for the Z-wave.
I would try using the Z-Wave PC Controller Software. It’s made by the people who own the Z-Wave protocol. The software is free and is an easy way to tell if the problem is a home assistant problem or something else.
@cornellrwilliams I’ve followed your suggestion to install Z-Wave PC Controller. Looks like same, cant find anything that could give me more information than the log from HA.

I’ve ordered a new z-wave device (I need a switch anyway) from another brand, hope it arrive on Monday.
@PeteRage, I have factory reset both the stick and device.
Transmitter settings is not enabled
Z-Wave Gen5+ ZW090-C is for the EU market. Do you need have the correct country?
I have also followed the guide from the Aeotec (manufacturer of Z-wave stick)
Yes you need to have the correct county set. So the only thing that prevents a device from using another frequency is the saw filter. They are usually only installed on the end devices and not the controllers. This means on controllers you can actually change what region to use.
I looked at the fccid internal photos and the Z-Stick does not have a saw filter. So the only difference between the eu version and the us version is likely different firmware and the region setting.
I changed my region to test out other devices and when I tried to add devices from a different region I would get the same symptoms you were having. This is why I assumed it was a region problem.
I’ve never seen the transmit settings greyed out. If you go to the network management page what device.type does it have the controller listed as? Is it listed as a PC CONTROLLER?
Hi @cornellrwilliams and @PeteRage
Thank you for your support! I found the issue! It’s me… I thought I could exclude a node from my previous z-wave network by just simply click 3 time on the switch, as it says in the manual. No, I needed to first exclude in the old controller then click 3 times on the switch.
Now it works!
Still strange is that the magnet sensor has never been included in any network and there I did a factory reset. This was the unit I worked most with since it not build in or previous connected to a controller. I still not have it in the new Aeotec controller.
I figured this out due to the new wall plugg arrived today.
Sorry that I took your time and once again thanks for the support.
